Bigelow AR was the first town in the state to have a concrete foundation for its sawmill. In the early 1900s people would bring their families from miles around to make sure the "quiet" sawmill was really working, and not just sitting there idling. That may be hard for us to imagine, but my parents told me repeatedly how the ground would shake and quiver from the palpitating thrusts of an engine ten and twenty miles away.

  Black Oak Arkansas.  The population of Black Oak is approximately 277.

Blytheville - Chamber of Commerce

Brinkley - Mayor Billy Clay is an open, friendly man with a great love for this area.  I was lucky enough to meet him way back when and a better booster for Brinkley you will not find.  The only trouble with Brinkley is if you want lodgings during goose season, you'd better call WAY ahead to make reservations.  I have seen geese (in that region) so thick I couldn't drop a rock anywhere in 80 acres and not hit one.  I've seen ducks surge up thick enough to darken the sky.  
The town is on I-40 about half way between the Little Rock Metro and Memphis.  Gene's Barbecue is THE place to stop for pie; the barbecue isn't bad either.  I don't remember their names, but on numerous occasions I did meet most of the staff on the Brinkley school system and many of the students, and this was a terrific team.

Clinton Arkansas is in the heart of the best deer hunting in the state.  This same area has ticks that are so tiny you can't find them with a search light until they fatten up. "Seed ticks are always tiny, but these are more like the size of runty microbes. 

About a dozen miles from Clinton I am running around loose on a thousand acres of private land.  In the wee hours of night I have decided the thing for me to do is raise coyotes.  A prime condition hide from a young coyote brings $20 during good times and bad.  From the sound of things, breeding stock surrounds me on all four sides.  If I turn a couple of chubby cackling chickens out to roost here, them cute little coyotes won't even realize they have been  harvested until I stretch them out to their outer limits.

Hughes Arkansas is at the end of the rainbow, but it has never recovered from the time the Yankees stole the pot of gold. It is on Hiway 38 in St. Francis County with a population of 1919. To get there you have to go through Widener, population 316. There are tall willows, huge spreading cottonwoods, the winter wheat is lush against the scarlet blast of trees. I didn't see one square field anywhere I looked. Attendants at the service station as you enter town were most inhospitable, but the school administrators were exceptionally nice, as were the other city officials I met.

Jacksonport is located in Jackson County just a little south of Newport between Auvergne and Elgin along Highway 17 on the banks of the White River.

Jacksonville Arkansas, near the crowd, but not in it. A spectacular town with almost 30,000 population, great schools, and a good industrial base with room to grow. It is a little hard to know where you are going, until you realize that the streets go in a circle here. Some of the concrete sidewalks I helped to pour in 1978 is still in place. My favorite chunk of Jacksonville is along Loop Road. The Hunan Restaurant on Main is excellent dining. Gwatney Chevrolet has a huge American flag flying just off the freeway at Gregory Street. You can see it clear from the south end of town.

What kind of people live in Mount Ida?  Well, as I was coming down the road at about 60 MPH to where 270 and 27 junction  my left front tire blew to shreds.  I brought the car to a stop right across from the Phillips 66 station by the name of Top Spot.  I looked at what was left of the tire and shuddered with gratitude that I was still alive.  Then I opened the trunk and got the jack out.  By the time I had figured out where the jack went under the car Mike White had crossed the road.   "There's no need of you getting your clothes dirty," he said.  "I'll change it for you, free of charge."   Mike wouldn't even think of taking a tip when he was done.   Mike White and Rafe Seiler own Top Spot, but as of that April day the station was not open yet.  Mike didn't expect any stock in for another day or two.  "But when we are open, we'll have tires, a mechanic on duty, oil, fuel, and good customer service."  I'll personally vouch for the warmth of the customer service. 

The only thing I found in Morrow Arkansas was Living Water Soaps.

Life's most important lessons are amazingly varied and can be quite confusing.  Even so, they most all have two things in common. First, they usually are not particularly complicated. It certainly can sometimes take a while to get it; but once you do get it, the lesson is normally straight-up and to the point. Second, and here is the rub, the lessons invariably are a "So now you tell me!" kind of thing.

Stephens is isolated. On the road there I drove for miles without seeing another vehicle. The smell of oil still permeates the town. The oil is mostly gone, but Berry Petroleum is making a firm stand at making oil by-products sustain the area's economy. There is also a recycled papers company there. The rest of the residents are involved in making a living in the woods. Little ranches are carved out of the woods and I saw some good-blooded kine grazing in small fields. I also saw one ranch raising burros.
